An initial step towards such a "Concept subscription service" or "Taxonomic activity notification service" is to categorize the changes in the content of a taxonomic database that influence the taxonomic concept behind a scientific name.

A scientific name is here understood as a designation for a group of organism structured according to the rules of nomenclature for names, independent of their nomenclatural or taxonomic standing. The rules of nomenclature are defined in the respective Codes of Nomenclature (animals; fungi, algae and plants; prokaryotes; virus rules).
